We used 16S rRNA gene tag pyro sequencing to examine the biogeography of bacterial and archaeal community composition in the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) of the South Pacific Gyre (SPG), the largest and most oligotrophic region of the world ocean. Dominant DCM bacterial taxa, including Prochlorococcus, SAR11, SAR406, and SAR86, were present at each sampled site in similar proportions, althoug...

Regional warming, owing to urbanization, leads to earlier spring phenological events and may expose plants to hard freeze damage. This study examined the influence of urbanization on the risk of frost damage to spring flowers in South Korea from 1973 to 2015. For the analysis period, we categorized 25 cities into two groups: those showing rapid population growth (rPG) ≥ 200,000, including 13 ci...

We construct an innovative SVP(CVP) solver for ideal lattices in case of any relative extension of number fields L/K of degree n where L is real(contained in R). The solver, by exploiting the relationships between the so-called local and global number fields, reduces solving SVP(CVP) of the input ideal A in field L to solving a set of (at most n) SVP(CVP) of the ideals Ai in field Li with relat...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of dentine on the pH of different medications in standardized simulated canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty resin blocks were divided into groups with and without dentine powder, as follows: 2% chlorhexidine gel; 2% chlorhexidine gel associated with calcium hydroxide PA; calcium hydroxide PA delivered in propylene glycol 600; and NPG delivered in distilled...

A sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA biosensor based on nanoporous gold (NPG) electrode and PdCu@carbon nanocrystals (CNCs) composites is developed. The CNCs were obtained simply by electrooxidation with abundant carboxyl groups at their surfaces. The NPG can be easily prepared by a selective dissolution of silver from silver-gold alloy in nitric acid, which has free-standing noble me...

While recent data suggest a high prevalence of adolescent with Internet gaming disorder, little is known about interpersonal factors that contributes or protect to this disorder. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the relationships between parental attitudes, adolescent perception of family functioning and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and explore gender differences. From a sample of 4...

Lactose and o-nitrophenylgalactoside (NPG) were transported against considerable concentration gradients by ML 308-225, a mutant of Escherichia coli which lacks /3-galactosidase but possesses a constitutive transport system for P-galactosides. The kinetics of influx of NPG during this accumulation were found to be the same as those found for this galactoside moving down a concentration gradient...
